If you want to see it in action, get the new Mac wrapper for Hercules. In theory, it's not different from what we have already done for some Windows 3.1 games such as Castle of The Winds.īut in this case, configuring everything was a bit longer. You can take DOSBox-X, you can install Windows 95 on a disk image, then the game you want to play (plus Direct-X and the required drivers), and that's it. Today, finally, we got one that is working! The new wrapper uses DOSBox-X, an enhanced version of DOSBox that can emulate the environment required to run not just DOS programs but also Windows 95 and 98. Since Wine is no longer a solution, we started experimenting with other wrappers/emulators some time ago. The problem is, Apple removed support for 32-bit apps starting from macOS Catalina, so these wrappers don't work anymore if your OS is up-to-date. Many users have appreciated our wrappers for Hercules, Civilization II, Blood Omen, and several other games. As you know, we were using Wine to make old Windows 95 games playable on macOS.
